The FRILITE® Group differentiates between construction materials (give buildings basic shape and structure) and construction chemicals (used for connection, protection, sealing, etc.). As construction chemical products are mainly used in thin layers focusing on shape, mechanical strength and weight saving, the finest grades of FRILITE® hollow microspheres are the best choice. Already a relatively low mass fraction in a formulation can make a huge difference. The FRILITE® Group, as one of the few suppliers of hollow mineral microspheres, offers different types and grades (e.g. d10 and d90 values) to formulators in order to meet all standard requirements. The microspheres can also be produced with Topcut.
Construction materials are one of the largest and most important areas of application for the FRILITE® P-Series. Conventionally expanded perlite has been used in construction materials for many years because of weight reduction or insulation purposes. However, conventionally expanded perlite never became widely accepted in construction materials due to the sensitivity of the material to mechanical stress in the mixing and applying processes and because of its undesirable absorbency. The FRILITE® P-Series, however, offers all these needed characteristics and more thanks to their glazed, closed-cell surface.
The FRILITE® E-Series cenospheres have an Al2O3 content between 34-39% and Fe2O3 contents of typically lower than 2%, which leads to an outstanding temperature resistance of over 1400°C. They can be easily recognized by their white to off-white colour.
The FRILITE® E-Series cenospheres are available in sub grades between 5-600 microns and a bulk density of about 400kg/m³, specific gravity typically reaching from 0,7-0,85g/cm³ and featuring 90% survival rates at >3000 psi.
The FRILITE® G-Series cenospheres have an Al2O3 content between 26-32%, which leads to good temperature resistance of over 1150°C. They are recognizable by their off-white to grey colour.
The FRILITE® G-Series cenospheres are available in sub grades between 5-500 microns and a bulk density of about 400kg/m³, specific gravity typically reaching from 0,7-0,85g/cm³ and featuring up to 90% survival rates at >3000 psi.
The FRILITE® W-Series cenospheres have an Al2O3 content between 30-40% and Fe2O3 contents of typically lower than 2%, which leads to an outstanding temperature resistance of over 1400°C. They are easily recognized by their white to off-white colour.
The FRILITE® W-Series cenospheres are available in sub grades between 5-500 microns and a bulk density of about 400kg/m³, specific gravity typically reaching from 0,7-0,85g/cm³ and featuring 90% survival rates at >3000 psi.
The FRILITE® Group has 20 years of experience with microspheres throughout the whole supply chain: raw material sourcing, microsphere processing, quality control, logistics, product development and support.
